Gastronomy “Joël Robuchon”

One of my favorite Michelin dining experiences to date! Fantastic service with great wine pairings and of course, amazing food. Everything was perfect from the detail in the presentation of their foods to each of the carts that came around. We only wished we had more space in our stomachs! Each dish was decadent to say the least and we loved pretty much everything they served! Their ingredients are some of the freshest and tastiest locally sourced ingredients around. I love that it’s still french cuisine but without too much of the heavy flavor profile as to match the palates of the Japanese. We spent about $450/$500USD a person including a glass of wine each, and it was worth every penny! They even sent us off with a freshly baked dessert! Easy to get reservations for online or through a concierge!

A great no frills smash burger that’s the perfect meaty meal to fill you up. I love that they have a vegetarian option for those that are vegetarian or would rather not eat meat and still eat a burger. Their impossible patties are every bit as good as their beef ones! I usually get a double cheeseburger and an order of their impossible fries and man does it hit the spot! Their house sauce is also AMAZING so definitely get it if you like your burgers with sauce. Their impossible fries have a patty (can be made with an impossible patty too!) cheese and is doused with their house sauce and grilled onions. Overall, it’s a quick turn around with each burger made to order, great service, but limited seating! It’s quite greasy but sometimes it’s just what you need!

My dear friends, let me tell you about the most extraordinary dining experience I ever had at Joel Robuchon Restaurant Ebisu, a sublime French restaurant in Tokyo. It was a feast for the senses, a symphony of flavors, a celebration of life.

The restaurant is situated in a splendid castle-like building in Ebisu Garden Place, a sophisticated shopping and dining complex. The inside is magnificent and refined, with glittering chandeliers, velvet curtains, and fine china. The service is impeccable, with courteous and knowledgeable staff who make you feel welcome and pampered.

The menu offers different courses, from six to seventeen, depending on how hungry and adventurous you are. We chose the degustation menu (¥55,000), which included a selection of appetizers, fish, meat, cheese, and desserts. The food was divine, with a perfect balance of flavors, textures, and presentation. Every dish was a delight for the senses, from the foie gras terrine with figs and port wine sauce to the roasted lamb with thyme and garlic. The cheese selection was marvelous, with fresh non-pasteurized cheeses from France that were rich and creamy. The dessert selection was equally marvelous, with a variety of cakes, pastries, and ice creams that satisfied our sweet tooth.

The sommelier was very helpful in choosing the wines to match each course. He explained the origin and characteristics of each wine, and how they complemented the food. We enjoyed a range of wines from different regions and grapes, such as Chablis, Pinot Noir, and Sauternes.

Overall, we had a wonderful time at Joel Robuchon Restaurant Ebisu. It was a gastronomic adventure that we will never forget. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves French cuisine and wants to treat themselves to a special occasion.

After visiting so many Robuchon locations, especially countless times to the one in Hong Kong over these years, I can confirm this one in Tokyo is on par with others, if not better.

The restaurant resides in a classy building which also accommodate a few other Robuchon brands. The sparkling dining hall with classical decorations, the high end tableware and cutleries, the very well presented waiters and waitresses, everything in this restaurant strongly conveys the sense of extravagance.

As with the food, it faithfully produces the classical Robuchon experience which I believe everyone can easily recall: vibrant, intense, playful. The bakery appears to be slightly better than their other branches, where they serve the tasty seaweed bread I can't find elsewhere.

Imperial Caviar, beetroot and apple salad, soft boiled egg, lobster...... all these classical courses you can find in this degustation menu. Seeing the waiter completing the roast veal chop right next to the table brings a lot of joy.

When it comes to end of the meal, my habit is to have a double espresso with caramel sauce on side. If you haven't tried so I can wholeheartedly recommend this combination!

Joel Robuchon Restaurant is a must visit for all food lovers and even more so for Robuchon admirers.
